The closest town (3500 people) has a novelty railroad with an ancient locomotive. They have three Pullman cars and do a dinner train on Friday and Saturday night. They just take it down the tracks to the next town and back it back home. A couple of years ago they decided to leave it running all winter as it was such a deal to get started. They didn't try that again. The thing leaked so much oil that they had to put a 55 gallon drum of oil in it every week. The depot is by the Co-op. It was fun to observe all winter.
When I was a kid we had a Farmall H we used to grind feed and run the grain cart during harvest. I never once remember it starting itself. We would pull it and it would fire right up. It had a starter button but I don't recall ever seeing a battery on it. Anyway, during harvest we would pull it before going to the field. It would idle at the edge of the field all day waiting in case we needed it to haul a load to the bins. I loved that tractor. I felt like a dirt track racer on it - road gear was FAST to a kid. One day it started "boiling over" when you ran it hard so we parked it. It sat in the back corner of the shed for a few years and then went to the scrap man. Now I know it was just a head gasket. Poor old thing. The scrap man also got our 5 window Chevy pickup. It was just an old green truck then. Not a scratch on it. We were dumb.
